I'm not an eggnog fan. Probably due to the fact that I don't like eggs.

I wonder why they don't sell it all year, though. Companies would probably strike it rich.

I used to live in a trailer park. It sucked big time. Bullies, gangs, stuff like that. I'm grateful that I finally got out of there when I turned 19.

I grew up in a tiny rural village of only 1000 people, about 80 miles from Detroit. Lots of trailer parks around, and farms. Few people had running water (we did, though). Everyone is White and Christian and they hate outsiders.

I'm so glad I left there.

All dogs are evil if you ask me I'd much rather have a cute soft cat.

Everything.

OK, not everything, but a hell of a lot. For starters, I wish I had gone to college for math/teaching and not programming.

Nah, I grew to loathe programming, especially how it changes so rapidly so I have to spend a lot more time getting knowledge of new systems and versions and such. Also, programming jobs are overworking crap, and almost all programmers are men. I don't feel comfortable in an otherwise all-male environment

Depends on the # & types of abbrevs. & the context.

If I'm desperately trying to write down notes in class from a fast lecturer, I'll abbreviate a lot.

If I'm trying to be concise because of space restrictions, like in a table, I'll abbreviate.

If it's something that's almost always abbreviated, like "etc." or "St.", I'll abbreviate.

I tend to abbreviate names a lot.

Otherwise I typically spell things out.

One type of abbreviation I literally never use is the txt msg spk stuff. You know, like "u" for "you", "4" for "for", etc. That always looked cheesy and dumb to me.

I'm large and big-boned for a woman (even most men are shorter than me) and I often have the problem of things not fitting me. Normal clothes are usually fine, but socks and shoes are a problem. Very few stores stock women's shoes in a size 12W (that's 46 for the Europeans), and "one size fits all" socks won't fit over my heel. Jewelry tends to be too small, especially rings and bracelets.

OTOH, I think it gives me that air of authority and intimidates would-be thieves and rapists

A couple of nights ago, I had about 5 dreams inside of each other like a Russian doll.

I get nested dreams fairly frequently, but not usually that many. I think it's because sometimes when I have a bad dream, or something bad happens in a dream, I recognize it as a dream and try to "wake up" but fail to do so. Instead, the element of waking up is just added to the dream...

Skirts and dresses. I haven't worn pants in over two years.

Lately I've been having a lot of dreams about moving, or having a new/bigger/cleaner place. Like, almost every night it seems.

I don't post much of anywhere these days. Even here my posts have become a lot more sporadic as of late.

I'm in a few IRC channels though, and there are some sites I browse frequently (TVTropes, GameFAQs, Not Always Right).

A few weeks ago, Firefox (v16) got infected with some adware that puts annoying rollover ads on literally every page I view. Occasionally I'll spy the message "Ads by CouponDropDown", or their logo will appear in the upper-right corner. I've looked up CouponDropDown and apparently it normally shows up as an add-on, but I'm not seeing it, or anything with an even remotely similar name, in either Plugins or Extensions. MalwareBytes isn't finding anything either.

Help! How can I get rid of this?

OK, I tried Spybot, which found a bunch of stuff but not the adware in question. Then I started removing extensions and...the ads are gone! Apparently the ads sneaked in through a benign-looking extension that I had added recently. Fucking devs, selling their soul to adware companies in order to get a few cents.

Thank you, everyone!

It's because time zones are not decided by any international body, but rather each country decides for itself how its time zones will work. So you have bizarre oddities like China's single time zone or Nepal's whacko +5:45 time because they thought it'd work out well for their countries, the rest of the world be damned. (I've even heard that the prolificacy of GMT+1 in Europe was a relic of Nazi domination and their desire to make everything they conquered use German time, and most nations never changed back to their original time zones.)

Nautical time zones are chosen internationally, which is why the time zones at sea tend to make sense. But they still zig and zag around every little island that chooses its own time zone.

Toggle Word Wrap.

Which is a shame, since Firefox otherwise defaults to .txt files scrolling both horizontally and vertically for some stupid reason. Sorry, I don't want to scroll across and back to read every damn paragraph.

My girlfriend hates it because she wears mostly a normal size but her breasts are large and it makes things difficult for her.

I'm the reverse, I'm huge but have relatively small boobies.

As for depressing things: I keep forgetting to post at Kafuka even though I'm idling in its channel. Shame on me
